Keep Aiseesoft Screen Recorder, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Aiseesoft Screen Recorder you would be making audio cleaned up live as you speak. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 89 of the 133 other screen recording and video tools we grade. It costs $150 a year.
What you could not
- Audio cleaned up live as you speak.
- Recording the screen with its sound, and somewhere to keep the video.
- Capture tools hooked into the operating system.
- A real app for macOS and Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Aiseesoft Screen Recorder’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
